Essential Groove Techniques
Summary
It could be argued that when it comes to being a great bass player there is NOTHING more important than the groove. A somewhat mysterious term, "groove" is a catch-all to describe the subtle magic that can occur when the rhythmic and harmonic relationship between a bass player and the rest of the band seems to perfectly serve the music.
In this course, Scott Devine will cover the most essential facets of groove from the bass player's perspective. Appropriate for players of any level, Essential Groove Techniques will cover topics like:
- Locking in with a drummer
- How to master your relationship with the kick drum
- Using pedal points to create tension
- The essential power of note length
- How to listen for rhythmic inspiration
- And much more!
Accompanied by info-packed Workbooks and top-notch Backing Tracks, Essential Groove Techniques just might prove to be the most important course you take at SBL. Dial-in your groove awareness and make this one a priority; your bandmates will thank you!
